VINTNER'S SALAD

Vintner's Salad image

I first served this salad at a dinner party way back in 1979. It's elegant enough for a dinner party and it goes together quickly. The dressing can be made ahead as well as the salad. Add the walnuts and grated Gruyere cheese just before serving, toss with dressing and serve. Originally from an April 1979 Bon Appetit magazine.
